is reporting that Corot has found its first planet. I can't find an arxiv paper about this, or even a press release, but there are many here better at squirreling out data releases than me. 1.3Mj, 1.8Rj so it's a very inflated planet, 1.5-day orbit around a 'star quite similar to the Sun' might account for that. In the Monoceros field (Corot is now pointing at the Scutum/Aquila field). |

boring? never. You didn't take me seriously didn't you?... Fridlund's teaser-update, a writing session, from where some papers should come out, will take place within two weeks, 20-21 Nov, in Paris...anyone around with sneaking abilities? -------------------- "Ride, boldly ride," The shade replied, "If you seek for Eldorado!"
